Bill Summary
Resolve, to Name a Railroad Crossing in Wiscasset the James Weldon Johnson Crossing |
AI Summary
This bill directs the Maine Department of Transportation to permanently name a specific railroad crossing in Wiscasset, Maine after James Weldon Johnson. Specifically, the crossing located at railroad mile marker 49.10 on Main Street, which is also identified by the federal crossing number 364974N, will be officially designated as the "James Weldon Johnson Crossing." While the bill does not provide background on James Weldon Johnson, he was a prominent African American civil rights activist, writer, and poet who was a key leader of the NAACP in the early 20th century, making this naming likely a tribute to his significant contributions to civil rights and American culture.
